May I present the AK-47 of ads. It seems to not even know who it's aimed at or what in particular it's trying to sell, so it just shoots off wildly in all directions hoping to hit something/anything.

You know this country is going to hell in a handcart when we actually have to be encouraged to go to the pub!

The 3rd ad is particularily cringe-worthy. A 40 year-old man singing about "scoring" just isn't clever on any level.

OMG!!! That's my new all-time most hated ad! Yuck!

I seem to remember that same voice actor saying, "Never EVER drink and drive". What's Joe Public supposed to think?:pac:

But yeah, ads for the pub....geez..

That Miller (I think thats what its for?) ad with the idiot in the blazer and red t-shirt having a pub miraculously form around him is getting so annoying from repetition that I feel like kicking the television into pieces whenever its on.

the new meteor adds

God I hate that Wii ad with those pair of idiots.....

And that Howard bollix off Halifax ads should be burned at the stake along with all other Halifax ad participants.

get Sky +, record the program. Start watching 15 mins later.

Brilliant, fast forward all ads.

Never watch live TV anymore. (except for sport TBH)

The people that make the Fruice ads should be shot. The "ah Bertie me bra" is COMPLETELY based around the Ma's chest.

True enough, but the size of the bra.......;)

Shacklebolt · 12-08-2008 10:43pm

What acent does Bertie the goats owner speak with? Its the bizzarrest one I ever heard on an ad....

The annoying thing is that the Fruice ads used to be pretty good. The whole “It’s a natural thing” campaign was excellent. Idiot woman/goat and idiot men/tent are death.

JerryHandbag · 13-08-2008 11:09am

I cant stand the Halifax one with the little asian singin "Woke up this morning feelin fine" etc and that dope on the surf board.....oooh there all so happy I wanna puke!

And that new ad on Sky for the start of the football season, I mean give me a break. THose 4 women playin the weird fiddles, poncin about.
A - Who the f**k are they? and B - What have they gotta do with football? I suppose theyre meant to entice the laddish culture to subscribe to sky? They shouldve got the Dubliners lashing into Dicey Riley or something like that

zuutroy · 13-08-2008 11:38am

A new low has been reached by the ad for the taxi regulators anti- drink driving ad, with what can only be described as pricks sitting around watching videos of their 'great summer'. God its sickening.

I made that point before on this thread they obviously fired the head of advertising-its a bit like Joel Schumacher and the Batman films.

No they're most likely just props. I'll probably be proved wrong and crucified by a fan of these bitches...

How true. They had a "GREAT SUMMER" and didnt drive and drive once or so the ad claims

I dont know if I believe them.

The new orangeina ad (with the freaky animals)is just disturbing..

and the Pat the baker ad is cringe-worthy.

missingtime · 14-08-2008 5:04pm

"Is it just me or has the world gone crazy with this whole natural lifestyle?"

The children appear to be wearing Australian school uniforms in that ad for some bizarre reason.

Heathen · 14-08-2008 10:40pm

Rennie · 15-08-2008 2:12pm

OMG cringe..

JerryHandbag · 15-08-2008 3:21pm

Yeah I can't stand that one. It's like, "Grey hair?? Sorry, that ain't acceptable! No woman would have ya!"

Shacklebolt · 15-08-2008 7:02pm

This has getting on my nerves lately-there are loads of ads on Irish television with English accents on them yet whenever an ad is put on English stations that was already on Irish TV they dub it over with English accents. Like that colour catcher ad you know the one Im on about? Recently there has been an ad for "Feel Great Ireland" yet its an English person doing the voiceover-whats so horrible about Irish accents? Are advertisers afraid of them?
